My parents have been giving a lot of mixed signals so indon't know if I can come out or not.

On one hand they don't talk shit and don't get pissy about pride flags and stuff and actually seem supportive. On the other they are extremely religious. To the point where they get pissed when I don't want to go to church. Wish I had a clear answer. Extended family is even worse. Everyone is extremely

I don't even know why I bother. Everything has been crashing down recently. My family is probably unaccepting. I'm pretty sure my boyfriend left me. Don't know why I keep going. I'm just sick and tired

I'm worried for your mental welbeing. You are here. You are still seeking connection. That's good. But your surroundings and the people you count on are not the best, probably not even good enough.

You will benefit from having more perspective and from finding out what your specific needs are. The goal is to focus on yourself. Perspective is learning about the experience of other people and try to apply that to your life. Finding out your needs helps to understand what makes you move and the direction you go.

For example: You say the person that left you was your world. I believe you. The world may seem very large, but our reach might be very short, even limited to our own selves. What does that person have that fulfill you? How can you get that without them?

I don't know you, so I don't have the right words. Like the others here, I wish you well and hope you can get to a tomorrow in which you are happy.
